You don’t need gimmicks or a gold level membership, Marie.

Transfer to corporation controlled by transferor) that makes me think you are talking about an S or C corporation (since a simple LLC can't issue stock, just membership certificates or debt bonds).

 I have since last month, cancelled my membership to the system.

I stumbled across a website called RealtyTrac that looks like it has a list, but their membership is almost $2/day so I figured there has to be a more cost effective way to find these deals.

I was about to upgrade my membership, but it will be hard for me to even continue to read on here much less become more active. 

I highly recommend joining at their Platinum level; it's pricey at $1550 for membership that includes both VRBO and HomeAway and many of their other sites, but membership level is the #1 factor in determining your placement in their search results.

The couple times I looked into this type of activity, the LLC members did indeed create good LLC credit history, but borrowing from the established lines of credit violated terms of the loan after change in membership.

I have purchased a membership to rebogateway and I am trying to utilize it as a source for creating a mailing list to go out to pre foreclosure owners.

My husband @Neal Collins and I became members last year at this time (it's a paid membership) and it has been truly invaluable. 

@Ashley WolfeI'm not wholly familiar with Angie's List, because I am not signed up with them; however, I've known quite a few people who swear by the service and have found great contractors through Angie's List.I'd recommend if there is a "trial membership" that you join through that and take a look around the website to see if there are any contractors that you'd need in your area that can be found on that list.Also, I'd join your local REIA (Real Estate Investors Association), because oftentimes, there will a. be contractors who are a part of that organization, or b. you can network and get names of good contractors via the members within the organization.Finally, this is a stretch and takes more time, but when you are driving through areas, and you see those signs in the yard that say that the: roof, driveway, lawn, etc, were done by "X" company, and it looks good; take down that number and give them a call for pricing.
